Rhododendron at the hedge began to come out on 23 May and full bloomed on 28 May this year. This variety is rather late comparing the ordinary.
My former teacher KAWASAKI Tsuneyiki  loved this flower, He guided me to the Rhododendron park at Hieizan Mountain, Shiga, Japan in the early summer in 1980s after viewing the the exhibition of the medieval Pure Land Buddhism at Nara, Japan, which was very marvelous and there I met the historical scholar ONO Katsutoshi who taught me the various hint on history after. Sekinan Library's Sekinan means rhododendron in Japanese. This flower's name was commemoration for KAWASAKI and ONO.
